MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 24th August, 2018) Chairman of the Russian parliament's upper house Foreign Affairs Committee Konstantin Kosachev believes that the arrangement of Russia and the United States to resume cooperation between some ministries and departments lays groundwork for further development of bilateral relations.
Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev said on Thursday after the meeting with US National Security Adviser John Bolton in Geneva that the two parties had agreed to continue security cooperation and to resume suspended bilateral contacts across several ministries and departments.
"The sides are resuming contacts primarily between the bodies, where there are common or diverging interests. Such arrangement creates an obvious groundwork for future, which has been so needed over the past two years," Kosachev told Sputnik.
According to the lawmaker, the number of disagreements has not decreased, however, the most important thing is that the meeting has taken place and that an arrangement to make such contacts regular has been reached.
